President Trump promised on Monday to unveil his nomination for Supreme Court justice this coming weekend, following funeral services for Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“We should wait for the services to be over for Justice Ginsburg” to make an announcement on the nomination, Trump told Fox and Friends on Monday. “So we’re looking at probably Friday or maybe Saturday.”
Trump’s top choices for the nomination have been narrowed down to two justices, people familiar with the matter told the Wall Street Journal. Those justices are Amy Coney Barrett, who currently sits on the Seventh Circuit Court in Chicago, and Barbara Lagoa of the Eleventh Circuit Court in Atlanta. Although Trump himself said Monday that five names remained on his short list.
